One Night Isn’t Enough…

// September 5th, 2007 // No Comments » // Blog

…to repay all the hardship that our mothers have endured, but it's the very least we can do.

Hafsa of Me Me has posted a sweet idea, that we should all get in on. Pass it on!

Humairah of Odd-Wisdom wrote to me:

Subhanallah, we feel so helpless seeing our mothers suffer with pain because of some physical illness or the other. Sometimes the pain is so bad, the medicine doesn't work. I suggest, if you all are up for it, to wake up for tahajjud this Thursday and Friday, and make special duas for our mothers with utmost sincerity.
We really need it..

I call all bloggers to do the same – this Thursday and Friday – September 6th and 7th. Let's wake up one night for the numerous nights she was up for us.

Feel free to post the same on your blog – so you encourage others to do the same. May Allāh accept our sincere and not-so-sincere deeds, and forgive us for our shortcomings.

That’s Interesting, But Why?

BBC News: Religion not race segregates city

“The Jews, Hindus and Sikhs seem to be better off in areas that are dominated by their own religion, except for the Muslim-dominated areas which get progressively worse off as they become more segregated.

“Any government plan that talks about 'parallel lives' and a lack of integration being a bad thing is missing the point – it's not bad for everybody.

“But for one group, the Muslims, they seem to be trapped in a spiral where they can't seem to move out of high deprivation areas.”

I repeat the title: that's interesting, but why? Why is it the case, that segregration is beneficial for other religious minority communities, but not ours?

Erm… OK
